Albertina 100M PTBR
Albertina 100M PTBR is a foundation, large language model for American Portuguese from Brazil.
It is an encoder of the BERT family, based on the neural architecture Transformer and developed over the DeBERTa model, with most competitive performance for this language. It is distributed free of charge and under a most permissible license.

Model Description
This model card is for Albertina 100M PTBR, with 100M parameters, 12 layers and a hidden size of 768.
Albertina-PT-BR base is distributed under an MIT license.
DeBERTa is distributed under an MIT license.
Training Data
Albertina P100M PTBR was trained over a 3.7 billion token curated selection of documents from the OSCAR data set. The OSCAR data set includes documents in more than one hundred languages, including Portuguese, and it is widely used in the literature. It is the result of a selection performed over the Common Crawl data set, crawled from the Web, that retains only pages whose metadata indicates permission to be crawled, that performs deduplication, and that removes some boilerplate, among other filters. Given that it does not discriminate between the Portuguese variants, we performed extra filtering by retaining only documents whose meta-data indicate the Internet country code top-level domain of Brazil. We used the January 2023 version of OSCAR, which is based on the November/December 2022 version of Common Crawl.
Preprocessing
We filtered the PT-BR corpora using the BLOOM pre-processing pipeline. We skipped the default filtering of stopwords since it would disrupt the syntactic structure, and also the filtering for language identification given the corpus was pre-selected as Portuguese.
Training
As codebase, we resorted to the DeBERTa V1 base, for English.
To train Albertina 100M PTBR, the data set was tokenized with the original DeBERTa tokenizer with a 128 token sequence truncation and dynamic padding. The model was trained using the maximum available memory capacity resulting in a batch size of 3072 samples (192 samples per GPU). We opted for a learning rate of 1e-5 with linear decay and 10k warm-up steps. The model was trained with a total of 150 training epochs resulting in approximately 180k steps. The model was trained for one day on a2-megagpu-16gb Google Cloud A2 VMs with 16 GPUs, 96 vCPUs and 1.360 GB of RAM.
Evaluation
The base model versions was evaluated on downstream tasks, namely the translations into PTBR of the English data sets used for a few of the tasks in the widely-used GLUE benchmark.
GLUE tasks translated
We resort to PLUE (Portuguese Language Understanding Evaluation), a data set that was obtained by automatically translating GLUE into PT-BR. We address four tasks from those in PLUE, namely:
- two similarity tasks: MRPC, for detecting whether two sentences are paraphrases of each other, and STS-B, for semantic textual similarity;
- and two inference tasks: RTE, for recognizing textual entailment and WNLI, for coreference and natural language inference.

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, TrainingArguments, Trainer
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("PORTULAN/albertina-ptbr-base", num_labels=2)
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("PORTULAN/albertina-ptbr-base")
>>> dataset = load_dataset("PORTULAN/glue-ptpt", "rte")
>>> def tokenize_function(examples):
... return tokenizer(examples["sentence1"], examples["sentence2"], padding="max_length", truncation=True)
>>> tokenized_datasets = dataset.map(tokenize_function, batched=True)
>>> training_args = TrainingArguments(output_dir="albertina-ptpt-rte", evaluation_strategy="epoch")
>>> trainer = Trainer(
... model=model,
... args=training_args,
... train_dataset=tokenized_datasets["train"],
